London, 1940: the Luftwaffe blitzes London every night for fifty-seven nights. Houses, shops and entire streets are wiped from the map. The underworld is in flux: the Italian criminals who dominated the West End have been interned and now their rivals are fighting to replace them. Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, the Black-Out Ripper sharpens his knife and sets to his grisly work.

Henry Irving is a disgraced reporter on a Fleet Street scandal rag. Genius detective sergeant Charlie Murphy is a fresh face in the Metropolitan police, hunting corrupt colleagues but blinkered by ambition and jealousy. His brother, detective inspector Frank Murphy, searches frantically for his runaway daughter, terrified that she will be the killer’s next victim.

As the Ripper stalks the terrified streets, the three men discover that his handiwork is not quite what it seems. Conspirators are afoot, taking advantage of the chaos to settle old scores. The murders invade the lives of the victims and victimizers on both sides of the law, as everyone is sucked deeper and deeper into Soho’s black heart.

If you enjoy the thrillers of James Elroy, Peter James and Dennis Lehane, you'll love THE BLACK MILE.

5つ星のうち5.0 Incredible! An absolute gold mine!
2016年12月8日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Without a single doubt the best book I've read in years, an reading two a week for over fifty years should provide a credential. I've had the privilege of reading many fine authors of Great Britain, including Ian Rankin, Val McDermott, Elizabeth George, and the Irish author of the exciting Jack Taylor series.

However, Mark Dawson has brilliantly captured a time period of historical importance for Great Britain, and by extension, Europe and the free world. Beginning just prior to the German Blitz, two brothers at odds find the same reasons for joining the Metropolitan Police Department.

While wars clouds envelop southern England, Frank and younger brother Charlie, battle not only the obvious, more marked criminal elements, they must battle against rampant corruption among the highest levels of those sworn to stamp out such corruption, walking an ever invisible line that pits friend against friend, lower rank against the very highest echelon, the most decorated, men with decades of experience, almost all of which has been honorable. Temptation, coupled with low salaries and easy pickings take these few beyond the pale. Playing a double game can lead to dismissal under the most onerous conditions. Their lives ruined, family disgrace, decades of lost pensions, despised by former comrades, laughed at by the very elements they'd previously hunted, arrested and imprisoned - lost souls who would rather die a violent death then face open trial and all the ramifications following. And, they do. Take upon this quick, violent death that could and often is, swept under the rug, frequently with an epitaph undeserved, honors tarnished, all to benefit the service they'd sworn to serve, all for preserving that very service. Nothing new here, right? Mark Dawson has woven an easy to follow, exceedingly human story, in which both good and evil are blurring and two brothers risk their lives and reputations attempting, not always winning, a balancing act where they are universally seen as snitches by other officers, yet managing the arduous, dangerous task of pursuing known criminals often less murderous than brother officers turned crooks, killers.

If you don't read this first in the series this coming year, you'll miss an opportunity not unlike this side of " the pond, " but without the wonderful idioms of that marvelous country in a time of its worst perils! Damn it! Read this book! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Evocative of an era and a society.

None of this is the image presented by the newsreel of the day nor the subsequent seemingly endless BBC dramas about the period. However is is probably more accurate in its portrayal of that strata of society than any of them. My grandfather was a policeman during the period and two bottle of Newcastle Brown would bring us wonderful stories such as this that would give us nightmares for weeks. We loved it.

The only unfortunate portion of the book is the Ripper Thing. An announcement to all authors. It's dead people. It's been beaten to death. He wasn't that big a deal in the first place. This book could have stood without it and been better for it

1940: no Computer databases, no cell phones, no DNA analysis and other modern police tools.
Book shows how police in that time solved crimes.
Mixture of crime and the relationship between Charles and Frank 2 brothers both working for the police

I remember reading Dawson's previous novels several years ago and so was interested to see what this one - which looked like a diversion from previous stories - was like. I'm pleased to say I really enjoyed it. As other reviews have noted, the novel is based on an interesting and little known real-life serial killer, an RAF airman called Gordon Cummins. The novel takes the basis of that story and fictionalises it, coming up with something that can best be described as a mash-up of LA Confidential and the pulp fiction novels of the 40s and 50s (which are given a big nod in the excellent cover).

The novel is well paced, and once you get past the introductory paragraphs, it moves along at an excellent speed, building up to a series of cliffhangers that make it difficult to put down. The three main stories are kept separate until around the halfway point when the characters are introduced to each other, and they - and the reader - begins to realise that the apparent serial killings of London prostitutes are not quite what they appear to be. Each strand is intertwined satisfactorily and the scope of the conspiracy begins to be revealed.

The period detail is lovingly recreated, and the scenes of The Blitz itself are vivid and exciting. It was a clever idea to set the murder mystery during this particular period of London's history - the characters are always under threat from the indiscriminate bombing, and there are two scenes in particular that have the tension cranked up to eleven as bombs fall in the vicinity as the plot takes two major twists. It would make a superb movie.

As other reviewers have noted, one plot strand is left untied and it might have made for a slightly more satisfying conclusion to have it neatly knotted away, but it didn't detract from the book for me. Life isn't always cut and dried, and things sometimes remain vague and opaque - it also leaves some space for the reader's own take on things and, perhaps, clears the way for a sequel - which I would be very interested in reading, should Dawson ever be tempted to return to the era.
